Get Your Bling On: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Full Pave Diamond Watches For 2015
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 44mm full pave with diamondsAt the watch trade show SIHH 2015, Audemars Piguet has quietly released a few extremely loud watches that are full pave diamond-covered versions of various Royal Oak Offshore collection timepieces. While Audemars Piguet has historically been known for purist watch making and traditional design, the brand today is split between offering luxury lifestyle timepieces as well as those rich with Swiss watch making heritage. Those who are mostly interested in the latter will likely scoff at Royal Oak watches in all diamonds, but it is true that Audemars Piguet - especially the Royal Oak Offshore - is an extremely popular watch with individuals who enjoy showing off status and wealth.2015 sees three versions of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore in all diamonds - including a few models with matching full diamond-set bracelets.

Help with decision: Omega Seamaster Chrono or Seamaster Pro Co-Axial?
I could really use a few inside points on this decision. I have put both on and and become unexpectedly more indecisive. THey are both fine watches, so win win, but:The Chrono (Black), probably my favorite with looks. Amazing time piece with a trusted movement. The Seamaster Pro (Black) includes the new co-axial, which is a major decision point. It also has a look that might be better suited to more environments: office, sport, dinners, etc. So because it has come down to the fine details, I hope you all can chime in, perhaps with different perspectives that I may not be considering. All thoughts and opinions wanted. Additionally, and not to complicate, I have also thought of tossing both choices aside for a brand new old stock (AD) US Special Edition (Silver) where only 1k were made. These special editions do not seem to gain value from what I can tell, but marked at 2k (originally 4.5k) perhaps it is worthy of more serious consideration.

My new best friend
After reading numerous posts about using scotch brite on brushed stainless steel, I decided to give it a try on my second generation Citizen Skyhawk. I have had the watch since 1996 (I think) and it was the first watch I spent over $35 on. I wore it daily for years and even took it on a deployment when I was active duty. Since then I have added about 20 watches to my collection and the Citizen has sort of fallen out of the rotation because it looked so used. The scotch brite worked beautifully and I am wearing it again. Now for the numbers on the bezel. They are faded and it would be nice to make them black again. Can I use a sharpie for that? Is there some other home remedy that would accomplish this feat? Even though I think I am Mr. watch reapirman since my success with the scotch brite, I am not ready to attempt any sort of bezel removal. Hey, I do know my limitations! As always I appreciate any and all advice.
